Impossibility of ever possessing another person (517). On the Ile du Bois, by moonlight (519). A new circle of hell (522). The terrible re-creative power of memory (523).

Odette’s suspect effusions (529). “Charming conversation” in a brothel (530). Odette goes on a cruise with the “faithful” (531). Mme Cottard assures Swann that Odette adores him (534). Swann’s love fades; he no longer suffers on learning that Forcheville has been Odette’s lover (538). Return of his jealousy in a nightmare (539). Departure for Combray, where he will see the young face of Mme de Cambremer whose charm had struck him at Mme de Saint-Euverte’s (541). The first image of Odette seen again in his dream: he had wanted to die for a woman “who wasn’t his type” (543).

Marks of friendship: the agate marble, the Bergotte booklet, “You may call me Gilberte” (573); why they fail to bring me the expected happiness (574). A spring day in winter: joy and disappointment (575). The Swann of Combray has become a different person: Gilberte’s father (578). Gilberte tells me with cruel delight that she will not be returning to the Champs-Elysées before the New Year (580). “In my friendship with Gilberte, it was I alone who loved” (585). The name Swann (586; cf. 202). Swann meets my mother in the Trois Quartiers (588). Pilgrimage with Françoise to the Swanns’ house near the Bois (591).
